At the same time as the Air Force launched an attack on the Japanese airfield, according to the previous plan, the Anjia Army Army launched an offensive in four directions on the Mongolian border at the same time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

More than 30,000 artillery pieces, with a difference of less than ten seconds, let out an angry roar in a neat manner.

In an instant, the earth shook the mountain.

The terrifying intensity of more than 400,000 shells per hour was like an endless rain of meteors falling from the sky, and countless shells with huge destructive energy fell to the Japanese-controlled area on the other side of the border line, soaring into flames and billowing smoke, turning thousands of kilometers of border areas into terrible purgatory.

Numerous craters quickly replaced the terrain of ravines and forts, and as the shelling continued, one border town after another disappeared, one dense forest after another disappeared, and only a purgatory with flying sand and rocks and raging heat waves remained between heaven and earth.

The bombardment lasted for an hour, and as the good news came that the air force had successfully attacked airfields in various parts of the northeast, the bomber groups assembled at the major airfields in Mongolia began to pour out their nests.

The reason why Huang Yuyi mobilized so many fighters to the northeast to participate in the war this time was that he wanted to let most pilots accumulate enough actual combat experience through the method of wheel warfare.

The fighters that attacked in the morning were all piloted by elite pilots of various air units who had experienced a hundred battles, and most of the planes that were now cooperating with the ground attack were newcomers who did not have much actual combat experience.

Over the past few years, major aviation schools have trained more than 60,000 pilots and more than 20,000 ground service personnel, of which more than 10,000 pilots have been selected to serve in the navy. Of course, most of them can only serve as land-based pilots of the HNA and less than 3,000 have the privilege of becoming carrier-based pilots.

Previously experienced carrier-based aircraft pilots entered the Cam Ranh Naval Flight School to teach, and the best of them entered the Haiphong Naval Aviation Officer School for further study, and after coming out, they served as naval aviation officers.

Half of the remaining 50,000-odd pilots have been transferred to the reserve for various reasons and have joined the "flying clubs" that belong to the militia in various parts of South China as instructors, and the other 20,000 or so have been assigned to serve in the air force. Gain experience through continued in-depth systematic theoretical knowledge learning and lift-off training.

The battle in the northeast was a great opportunity to train new recruits, because the Japanese air force was stifled from the very beginning of its ability to fight back, most of the pilots who generally had hundreds of hours of flight records but had no actual combat experience just had the opportunity to test the level of training on weekdays, and many old models, even including training planes, also appeared in the air of the northeast.

However, the effect of such a concentrated use of fighters was also very striking, in an unprecedented dull roar. The first wave of air raid echelons, consisting of more than 3,000 fighters and more than 5,000 bombers, flew across the border in an overwhelming manner, striking targets that might hinder the ground offensive.

In the face of this frightening "dark cloud of death," the Japanese army's front was once again ruthlessly baptized, and from the front-line positions to the barracks and material warehouses more than 20 kilometers behind, all of them were shrouded in a network of flames and shrapnel, and the smoke could be seen even from dozens of kilometers away.

At 9:45 a.m., the shelling gradually subsided. The boundless array of tanks, armored vehicles, and infantry of the An Family Army appeared on the horizon.

At this time, more than 3,000 B2 bombers, divided into hundreds of attack squads, appeared over the battlefield, and they were completely unafraid of the weak anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese ground forces, and swooped down from a high altitude with a scream, accurately dropping aerial bombs ranging from 100 to 1,000 kilograms to the target. Unusually violent explosions echoed each other. The rising flames and smoke rose one after another, and the earth was strongly shaken, and people's hearts were also strongly baptized, as if the world here was facing a landslide and the earth was cracking, and people had no escape, but could only fall helplessly into a desperate situation.

At 10 o'clock sharp, after more than 600,000 rounds of artillery shells were consumed, the large-scale shelling finally stopped, and the frontal battlefield was thousands of kilometers wide. Countless warplanes flew all over the sky, tightly suppressing the counterattack firepower of the Japanese army's front-line positions, and effectively cutting off the communication links between the Japanese army's front line and the rear.

Led by tens of thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, assault guns, and self-propelled artillery, and supported by helicopter gunships flying over the ground, millions of officers and men of Anjia pounced on the Japanese defense line with overwhelming momentum, taking advantage of the tacit cooperation between various arms of the armed forces. Constantly ramming and tearing through the Japanese defenses.

All along, the Japanese army did not lack the courage, will, and dedication to go forward and follow, but what they paid for their blood and even their lives was only a slight slowdown in the offensive speed of the An Jia Army, and they plugged leaks everywhere. Holes everywhere, finally. Under the all-round and fierce attack of the Anjia Army, the Japanese front continued to take care of one thing and lose the other, the positions were divided, the troops fell into a desperate situation, and the battle line gradually presented a miserable situation of fragmentation.

......

At a time when the main combat cluster of the Anjia Army was attacking the fortified positions, the three group armies of the Northeast Operational Cluster, which was in the hinterland of the enemy in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and the western regions of Liaoning, began to move more than an hour earlier.

Aihui City is the later Heihe City, here is located between the Great Xing'an Mountains and the Small Xing'an Mountains, the southwest bank of the Heilongjiang River, the geographical location is extremely important, as a flight base, can control the entire central part of the Heilongjiang River and the airspace of the large and small Xing'an Mountains area, the Japanese army began to build an airport at the end of 38, it took a year and a half to build a high-standard military airport, can take off all types of fighters.

At half past eight in the morning, the first wave of fighters of the Anjia Army Air Force flew over the Japanese airfield and dropped a dense number of bombs, and the entire city of Aihui was enveloped in the sound of a terrible siren.

When all the attention of the Japanese army was attracted by the air attack, the 131st Division and the 132nd Division of the 41st Group Army of Lei Dong had launched a fierce attack on Aihui City.

There was no suspense in the battle, although Aihui City was important, the areas south of the Heilongjiang River and Jiangbei were all controlled by the Japanese army, and the guerrilla area of the Northeast Military Region of the Anjia Army was mainly limited to the area west of the East Xing'an Mountains, including the Yilhuli Mountains, the West Xing'an Mountains, and the Longtou Mountains. For the Japanese army, the defensive pressure was not great, so the placement of an independent mixed brigade in Aihui was already extremely important.

The two divisions of the Anjia Army suddenly attacked, and the Japanese army was already dizzy when it was attacked by air raids, and now it was unable to organize an effective defense at all after being directly attacked by the ground troops. In just four hours, the Japanese army in Aihui City was basically wiped out, and the red flag fluttered at the head of the city.

The 133rd Division of the group army broke through the defense of a large group of Japanese troops at Nenjiang City, captured this important city on the Qihei Railway, and pointed its troops directly at Nehe and Ningnian.

In addition, the special task force directly under the group army had already lurked in Longmen Town, an important town west of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains on the Binhei Railway, and entered the town as soon as the battle began, successfully annihilating a brigade of the Japanese garrison. Seize this key pass town and defend it to prevent the Japanese army from sabotaging the railway line that crosses the East Khing'an Mountains and ensure the smooth flow of the railway.

During the Republic of China, the provincial capital of Heilongjiang was not Harbin, but Qiqihar City, which was still called Longjiang at this time. Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province are demarcated along the Songhua River, Jiangbei is the boundary of Heilongjiang Province, and Jiangnan is under the jurisdiction of Jilin Province. Therefore, before ***, Harbin was actually an important town in the north of Jilin Province.

After Japan occupied Northeast China, Heilongjiang Province was divided into Longjiang Province, Heihe Province, Xing'an East Province, Xing'an North Province, Sanjiang Province and Binjiang Province, among them, Longjiang Province annexed Zhendong, Tao'an, Taonan and other counties that originally belonged to Liaoning Province, Binjiang Province included the southern area of Songhua River, and the provincial capital was Harbin. Sanjiang Province includes the Songhua River, Jiangbei and Jiangnan regions. Jiamusi is the provincial capital.

Xie Yizhi's 43rd Group Army, with the 137th Division, captured the Xing'anling Railway Tunnel and the Guandi Temple on the top of the mountain, concentrated the two divisions of the 138th and 139th Divisions and all the troops directly under the group army, attacked Zhanantun, the capital of Xing'an Eastern Province, broke through the defense of the two Japanese wings within half a day, and successfully stationed at the Jinchanglu Chunbian Fort to threaten Qiqihar.

On the border between Hung Yen North Province and Mongolia, the Japanese army stationed two second-class divisions of the 119th Division and the 123rd Division of the Eastern Army to defend it, and three border garrison wings assisted by it.

When the ground offensive of the main force of the Anjia Army was launched at ten o'clock. The Japanese withstood an endless sea of tank attacks. A tank army of the Anjia Army has three tank divisions, two armored infantry divisions, five independent heavy tank regiments, one Spitfire tank regiment and one tank destroyer brigade, in addition to a large number of auxiliary arms and army aviation units to support.

Such a combination of strikes, coupled with the vast grassland terrain in the border area, is extremely conducive to mechanized warfare, and for the Japanese troops who are passively beaten, it is tantamount to a nightmare.

The Tiger tanks equipped with heavy tank regiments in front were invulnerable, and 120mm caliber grenades hit their bodies like tickles. The Leopard II tanks that followed behind them constantly fired at the Japanese firing points, and the dive bombers in the sky cleared the remaining Japanese artillery positions, and the army aviation helicopters were used to attack the anti-tank guns, and the mechanized group easily broke the Japanese battle line with little effort.

The same situation was encountered by the Japanese troops near the border of Hung Yen North Province and the Japanese border garrison units in Hung Yen South Province and Hung Yen West Province. These two provinces were also newly established by the Japanese army after the *** incident. In the past, Liaoning Province, Rehe Province and Chahar Province were close to the border of Mongolia in the north, but they were divided into two provinces by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army deployed the 114th Division and the 163rd Division in Hung Yen South Province. The 117th Division and the 134th Division were deployed in Hung Yen West Province, each with three border garrison wings.

However, such a combination of forces is enough to choke the motorized infantry group army of the Shang'anjia Army, let alone face the attack of the main tank group of the Anjia Army.

Almost all the border passes, which did not hold out for even half a day, collapsed under the three-dimensional blow of the An Jiajun from the sky to the ground and from the front to the rear, and even escape became a luxury.

At a time when the Japanese troops near the border line were saying that the sky should not be called the ground and the ground was not working, the cities of Hailar and Manchuria in the rear had already been attacked by the 134th Division of the 42 nd Group Army of the Northeast Military Region and the armored brigade directly under the group army.

Huang Bangqiang personally led the main forces of the 135th Division and the 136th Division, plus the tank brigade and artillery brigade directly under the group army, as well as auxiliary units such as engineers, antiaircraft artillery, and anti-chemical warfare, to move south from Laotou Mountain, and at almost at 12:30 p.m. took Arshan and Suolun Town at almost the same time, and the front of the troops was directed at Gegenmiao and Tao'an.

Although the Japanese army did its best, it had no choice but to lose air supremacy, and in addition, it was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength and weaponry, and the main force was quickly divided and surrounded, most of them were annihilated, a small part surrendered, and the remnants fled into the nearby mountains, where they were cleared and suppressed by the guerrillas of the Northeast Military Region, who were familiar with the terrain, and very few people escaped from the mountains.

After breaking through the border line, the First and Second Route Armies advanced at high speed to the hinterland of the northeast, and in just one day, they successfully advanced the front 100 kilometers forward.

The Northeast Military Region sent men and horses to fully cooperate with the advance of the army. At present, Shi Lejun's engineering headquarters is organizing troops to rush to repair the railways from the border line to Manchuria and Arshan, and once the railway line is connected, the efficiency of transporting troops and materials will be multiplied.

Although the Third Route Army was weaker than the First Route Army and the Second Route Army, and the tank troops were only equipped with one tank division for each group army, Zhang Chengzhu also had four tank divisions under his command, and such a force was already very strong for the weak defense of the Japanese army in the Chahar direction for a long time.

In just one day, the Japanese 135th Division and two border garrison brigades retreated on a large scale, and the resistance to the attack of the Third Route Army was extremely weak.

By the end of the first day of the battle, the Third Route Army had advanced 150 kilometers into the territory of Chahar, only 250 kilometers away from Duolun, and the speed advantage of the motorized army in the Mongolian steppe was vividly displayed.

The attack of the Fourth Route Army was also very smooth, Shunha (Erenhot) such an important transportation hub and border town, the Japanese army attached great importance to it, and the army stationed in Mongolia under the command of the Chinese Dispatch Army stationed here an independent mixed second brigade and cavalry group, but in the face of the attack of the three tank divisions of the Anjia Army, it still collapsed without any suspense, and the rout retreated in the direction of Zhangbei.

However, there were bombers dropping bombs in the sky, tanks and armored vehicles on the ground pursuing, and terrifying dragonfly-like aircraft hovering in the air, destroying the temporary positions of the Japanese troops trying to cover the retreat of friendly forces and stop the attack of the An Jiajun, tearing all the light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers to shreds.

In the area of Anming Town (now Sunit Right Banner), the Japanese army saw that the two legs could not run the wheels and tracks, and tried to entangle more than 40,000 Mongolian puppet troops to resist stubbornly, but within two hours, the battle line collapsed again, 30,000 Japanese soldiers died 12,000, and the rest of the people, including their war horses, were successfully surrounded by the Anjia army and obediently became prisoners.

Generally speaking, today, the Anjia Army has won victories on all fronts, and good news has been reported frequently, while the Japanese army, in the face of the attack of the Anjia Army's mechanized army, seems to have suddenly become unable to fight, no matter how much it struggles, it is a defeat and a defeat, which has led to great panic among the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Chinese military generals.
